Hiroshima 0815



Visiting Hiroshima has been the most moving experience so far. I was struck by how the rebuilding process has helped to heal Japan. The Peace Museum was very well presented. There was an emphasis on how shortly after the bombing plants started to grow. When all of the experts said that nothing would grow for decades. Hiroshima is a busy city full of life. I titled this entry Hiroshima 0815 because that was the time that the bomb detonated. I have attached some pictures of the Atomic Bomb Dome the only preserved remaining structure and one of a clock frozen in time recording the detonation.
